As per My opinion (Dr. Rao) Antarctica is a place of purity having zero pollution and it is natural laboratory for the scientists. It was a great opportunity for me to be there at ANTARCTICA in a prestigious Indian Antarctica Expeditions which were conducted by NCAOR, Goa and DOD/MOeS, New Delhi.
It is my duty to express a special thanks to the then Directors of NGRI for providing an opportunity to go to Antarctica for Scientific Studies.
